Kolonne (German: convoy, column) was a gigantic logistic operation of the Soviet occupation administration in eastern Germany, first of the Soviet Military Administration in Germany (Sowjetische Militäradministration in Deutschland - SMAD, Советская военная администрация в Германии - SVAG), which then turned into the Soviet Control Commission in Germany (Sowjetische Kontrollkommission - SKK, Советская контрольная комиссия в Германии) - the robbery movement of all raw materials, equipment, and factories to the Soviet Union. In the 1940s, the operation was carried out by two branches of the Soviet Administration - Reparations and Supply Department (Отдел по репарациям и поставкам) and the Transport Department (Транспортный отдел) in Berlin-Karlshorst, at Gundelfinger Straße 38 (1945–1946), in Wendenschloß (1946–1949), and again in Berlin-Karlshorst at Treskowallee (1949-).
